ble those of Cluhiona. The abdomen is oval and very regnlar in 

 shape. PI. V, fig. 13. The eephalothorax is very thick and hard, 

 and dark brown. The abdomen is light yellow with no markings, 

 except four small brown spots near the middle, and a gray streak 

 over the dorsal vessel. The hairs are very short and scattered so 

 that the skin appears soft and smooth. 



The first pair of legs is a little the longest insteacl of the fourth 

 pair, as in the European species, and both the first and second pairs 

 are much stouter than the third and fourth. The palpi are slender, 

 the tarsal joint thickened at the tip. The legs are darker fi*om back 

 to fi'ont, the front pair reddish brown, not so dark as the eephalo- 

 thorax, and the hind pair is yellow. The epigynum has two dark 

 brown round depressions close together. 



Pale individuals are sometimes found with all the legs yelloAvish 

 white, eephalothorax light brown with white eyes, and the abdomen 

 light gray. 



The males are smaller than the females, sometimes not more than 

 half as large. The tibia of the palpus is shorter than the patella, 

 and has a short hook on the outer side. The tarsus is small and the 

 bulb of the palpal organ is so large that it extends beyond the tar- 

 sus on both sides. The bulb is round and has a distinct tube which 

 rests in a groove of the end of the tarsus, figs. 13c, 13f7. 



Under stones and leaves and sometimes on fences in autumn. In 

 general appearance and color it resembles Dysdera. Massachusetts 

 and Connecticut, and in N. Pike's Long Island collection.

eephalothorax highest behind. Eyes of the front row equal in 

 size and equidistant, the lateral eyes a little the highest. Upper row 

 of eyes longer than the front row, the middle eyes highest, all of the 

 same size and larger than those of the front row and at equal dis- 

 tances apart. Abdomen widest in the middle and a little pointed 

 behind. 



Maxillae long and widened at the tij^s but not so much widened as 

 in Cluhiona. 



The opening of the trachea? is farther forward than in other 

 genera, in some species approaching nearly to the epigynum. PI. 

 VI, fig. la. 



The colors are pale. The male palpi are large and complicated.
